The simple truth is, the SB150 has won more race stages it has started than any other EWS race bike in history.
Truth in Time
Queen Stage Wins
0
On the longest and most grueling stages, the SB150 is fastest.
International, National and Series Wins
0
EWS. Big Mountain Enduro. Pro GRT. Trophy De Nations World Championships. The SB150 has won it all.
EWS Podiums

Unparalelled. And not even close to being done.
EWS Winning Margin (Sec)
0
Richie Rude earned the biggest winning margin in EWS history over second place (Sam Hill) at EWS Whistler, 2019.

Feels Fast, and is fast are different.
Line corrector, time saver, full travel user: tuning Switch Infinity to go faster while pedaling or not.
Leverage Rate
Our relatively linear progression curve ensures racers get more track speed, and full travel from their suspension. Forget what you know – the clock proves more progressive curves aren’t faster.
Tunable for Stage Decimating Performance
Richie Rude wins running the same suspension design that comes stock on the SB150. No team only linkage or mods to his Switch Infinity. As personal performance elevates, racers are able to tune the SB150 to carry more and more speed – right up to the top of the box.
The faster I go, the more alive it becomes.

Feel
Capable, stable, efficient, astonishingly fast.
Anti-Squat
Across our line, we have chosen a relatively flat and high anti-squat curve in the beginning and mid-section of travel where pedaling commonly occurs a.k.a. the pedaling zone. This creates an efficient pedaling platform through your entire pedaling zone, as opposed to one single point. After the pedaling zone, there is an inflection point where the Switch Infinity link moves down, dropping the anti-squat drastically. Riders are typically not pedaling in this zone, so chain forces have less of an effect on the suspensions performance. Decoupling of the chain forces allows the suspension to work more efficiently to absorb impacts making the feel of a Yeti distinct.

Vertical Wheel Travel
Progressive Race Driven Geometry
Designed for shorter fork offsets, the SB150’s headtube angle is slackened and the seat tube angle is way steeper. The reach is also longer with shorter chainstays. Advantage? All of these elements increase the DH prowess and move the rider forward on the bike. But these advantages are not one-sided. The steeper seat angle, short fork offset, and forward riding position also keeps the front wheel on the ground, the power to the pedals and the steering quick and nimble when climbing.

FORWARD BIAS POSTURE
Gives racers the room they need, and centers them on the bike.
2
20mm LONGER TRAVEL FORK
Pairs well with our forward-biased frame matching the vertical wheel travel of the rear suspension.

SLACKER HEADTUBE
Lower bottom bracket, and longer wheelbase.

TESTED TO DH STANDARDS
High-impact strength, carbon lay-up tuned to go fast and tested to DH standards.
Through timed testing, we proved the resulting ride characteristic helped racers carry higher downhill race speeds.
Wishbone Shock Extender
Our patent pending wishbone shock extender changes leverage ratio, maintains kinematics and maximizes stand over clearance. For racers, the shock can be removed from the frame under two minutes to change a shock tune or perform a race day service.
Custom Shock Tune
Each Yeti model has a custom shock tune that is developed in house. Each tune is specifically designed to work in conjunction with the leverage ratio and anti-squat performance properties the engineering team builds with each frame. The performance characteristics of the SB150 are built using qualitative data from our athletes, and quantitative data recorded from telemetry devices which allow us to derive a tune that both enhances mid-stroke and bottom-out control while maintaining its pedaling efficiency.

At the heart of the SB150 suspension design is our Patented Switch Infinity, with a translating pivot system for excellent anti-squat characteristics.
What surprised me most is how agile it felt when riding at slower speeds. Climbing technical, slippery, and slow-speed trails-not what it was designed for.
This 29er's short offset fork, super-slack head tube angle, loads of travel, and switch infinity suspension boosted our confidence conquering a trail's technical zones.

The SB150 frame and Switch Infinity link are covered by a Lifetime Warranty. You CAN race, jump, ford streams, shred the gnar, or ride it hard. Don't worry, you don't need a lawyer to decipher how it works.
